Crystals have been used to heal and bring balance, working through resonance and vibration. Crystals are said to heal holistically - that is to say, they work on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels of being.

The gemstone property information here is to use as you see fit, but is not to take the place of professional medical care. Crystals, Gemstones and Talismen can negate, protect, encourage, strengthen, and balance and promote healing and positivity. Their effects can be extraordinary, but use in addition to medical advice, and not as a substitute for proper care.

Raku pottery's interesting rainbow-like glaze effects are created through a unique firing process.

The piece is sealed in a glaze with high copper content,then fired like any other ceramic, but is removed while the glaze is still molten hot.

After being placed in a bin of combustible materials, the piece ignites.

This causes a reaction with the copper, resulting in a colorful luster and irregular surface patterns.

The Om Sign (or Aum sound) is the past, the present, and the future, all that was, all that is, all that will be is om.

"A" stands for Creation "U" stands for Preservation "M" stands for Destruction or Dissolution The three letters also indicates three planes of existence, heaven (swarga), earth (martya), and netherworld (patala).

OM is said to represent four states of consciousness: deep sleep (unconsciousness), dreaming, wakefulness, and bliss (samadhi).
